I was very shocked with a new video clip that has emerged attributed to YABhg. Tun Sakaran Dandai, former Sabah Chief Minister and minister in the federal government. He said that Sabahans must remember what had happened to the state before Barisan Nasional took over the reign of the state government from PBS in 1985 and ruled till 1994. He said that during that period, there were only one or two schools in Pulau Bum Bum compared to with what the place has today. Tun Sakaran asked that voters from Semporna to vote for Ramli Marhaban and not for Shafie Afdal. Most people know that there was a close relationship between Tun Sakaran and Dato Seri Shafie Apdal.

Thus, Sabahans must not be confused about whom to choose as the best candidate to represent between two candidates that are Shafie and Ramli Marhaban who are soliciting for their votes. The voters should be looking at a bigger picture of Sabah and their future such as the need for a Pan Borneo Highway, more hospitals, free educations, and stability in the South China Sea as well as in the Sulu Sea.

Every day, thousands foreign tourists comes to visit Sabah especially the wonderful places such as Ligitan, Sipadan, Mabul and many more. But without stability and peace, they won’t come and this will be a huge loss to the people here because they will lose these tourist incomes that generate jobs and give them and their family livelihood.

Today is polling day. Think carefully and make a wise decision of whom you want to fulfil your aspiration. Don’t gamble away your future and that of your children and their children’s children.

I still remembered when the state was run by the opposition party, it was tough for Sabahans to get scholarship. Many Sabahan students were frustrated because they cannot go overseas for further studies. Now, they have University Malaysia Sabah (UMS), UITM, Open University Malaysia (OUM), Teachers Training Institute (IPG), polytechnics KPM, and many more.

Last but not least, let's come together to build our state in a better way. We have many choices, and to maintain existing way is better and assured than venturing into unknown. Patriotism to the state means love for and of the state and a love for a better government. 'Undionoh' Tatap Sabah
